PIC # 1: Marina Guide trip with great catching! It was good right before a storm moved in, took a small break and then it was really great after. Actually hit the water while it was still lightly raining and caught the fish in the pic in less than 45 minutes.

PIC # 2: Another Marina Guide trip with a Kokanee in the mix. They released at least five fish over 18 inches. Kept a couple under 16 and released the rest. We caught fish non stop for four hours.

PIC # 3: An early Fathers Day treat for these two going catching with Larry

PIC # 4: A decent number of Browns like this one being caught this Spring. This likely indicates a successful spawn a few years ago. Browns have not been stocked at Eleven Mile in many many years so the ones you catch here are truly “Eleven Mile” Browns! This one was released.

TROUT:EXCELLENT:: Lots of big fish being caught at least by our Guides. If you wanted a great catching experience now would be the time to book a trip. Some June dates still available The bite is on and we are really doing extremely well. Everyday is different but all of our trips have scored big fish in the last two weeks. Conditions seem to be in a holding pattern with cool nights and mild to cool days keeping the bite strong. Lots of baits doing well stop in for the latest info on what bait is hot!

KOKANEE SALMON:FAIR TO POOR: Pretty much the same report. There are anglers catching one here one there. Mostly from North Shore to points East around Duck Island and Deer Island. Most are using Dodgers and Sling Blades with a variety of offereings like Mack’s Wedding Rings, Wiggle Hoochies and Squids tipped with corn or Gulp Maggot. Look to Kokanee Kustoms and Pro Troll Kokanee Killer. We have had some opportunities but lost them at the boat on Macks Imperial spoon in red trolled clean all by itself on a lead core out five colors. No blades no corn no maggots.

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO POOR: The water is still a might chilly and we hope when it gets into the upper 50’s we will see action improve. But for the most part it has been challenging with smaller fish hitting and bigger ones playing it safe. Try big Rapala’s specially the F18 in Pike Pattern trolled in 15 feet of water.

SPECIAL NOTE: 11 Mile Marina is located at the North Shore in Eleven Mile State Park, Lake George Colorado. A CPW Park Pass is required on all vehicles entering the Park. Any fees for Guide/Outfitter/Rental services do not include Park fees, CO fishing license or gratuities.
